What It Helps Fix

Installation Notes and Tips
Verify the hose routing before removal and compare the end styles, centerline length, and inside diameters to the original part. Inspect the mating ports on the engine block and PCV valve for wear, buildup, or damage before installing the new hose. For best results, replace any hardened or damaged adjacent ventilation components at the same time.
